Step 0: Requirements and clone

• PHP 5.5+ for Laravel project. PHP 7.0 or higher is recommended if you're setting up a new environment. The php_intl module is required to run this project.
• NGINX, Apache, or any other server software of your choice.
• Composer (get it here: http://getcomposer.org)
• Grunt (get it here: https://gruntjs.com/getting-started)
• Compass (get it here: http://compass-style.org/install/)

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/iRail/hyperRail.git

Set up your server software to pass requests to the hostname of your choice to public/index.php

Step 1: Install / Update dependencies

In order to install the dependencies you have to run: composer install

When installing this for the first time, also run this:

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

and edit your .env after your own taste (e.g., you may want to switch development mode off)

Step 2: Update bootstrap/start.php for environments

Optional, but can be useful.

Step 3: make app/storage writeable

chmod -R 777 storage

Step 4: Set up resources

• npm install
• bower install
• grunt

Step 5: You're ready!

Usually you should be ready to get started by visiting the hostname you have set up. If it does not work, log an issue. We'll help you out and fix the documentation for everyone else.

In case you just want to update the stations list to the latest version, run: composer update
